Mountain Biking

Altura Trail is the longest purpose-built, 12 mile, mountain bike trail in Whinlatter Forest Park. The Altura Trail puts the mountain back into biking and has been built for experienced riders with good off road skills and a higher level of fitness and stamina.

Organised Activities

Guided walks can be booked with Keswick Rambles and are offered at 3 levels: steep, high and rocky for those seeking a challenge (fitness essential); a good strenuous walk with several ascents and descents; or a fairly easy walk suitable for all active walkers.

Nichol End Marine offers a wide range of watersports, sailing and kayaking and offers tuition. Please ask for a 15% discount card during your stay.
